Story

Mittens is being surrendered to our rescue due to too many animals in the home. She is utd on vaccinations & spayed. She is an independent cat, who will snuggle with you occasionally. She might need a little work with litter training, it is intermittent, but it is probably due to the number of cats in the home vs. the number of litter boxes. She is about 3 years old and weighs about 8lbs.

Story

I have an 11 year old cat that is very well loved. He is very affectionate and easy going. He is pretty quick with adjustment also (we moved several times). We unfortunately cannot keep him due to my four-year-old having cystic fibrosis and has many lung problems. We have been trying to keep the cat away from her, but unfortunately, even the smallest amount of pet dander is an irritation to her. We also have a newborn on the way. He may be 11, but still has a lot of spunk and playfulness. He loves little catnip play mice. But he also loves to snuggle on your lap at night. Please help to find a forever home.

Story

Buddy and his brother Winchester were dumped as three month old kittens on our cul-de-sac. We found Winchester under our car and Buddy was found by our neighbors. He lived with one obese, older cat and the series of three French bulldogs, all now deceased except the new puppy. Five years later, our neighbor stated Buddy was not getting along with the new puppy and planned on surrendering him. That’s when we offered to take him. Despite gradual and repeated introduction trials with three different medications, Buddy stalks and attacks his brother, Winchester . Buddy initially had altercations with our two older cats, but they held their ground and he leaves them alone. Winchester has been very stressed with every introduction attempt and begins peeing and pooping outside of his box. We hope that Buddy can be adopted by someone looking for a single pet. He is affectionate, playful, uses his box, agreeable for nail clipping, and getting in and out of his carrier for trips to the vet.

Jemma

American Shorthair

Female, Adult

Lakewood, OH

(when grown) -

Details

Not good with dogs, Good with cats, House-trained, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Jemma is a lovely 1-2 year old girl who I found under a wood stack in late September 2024. I found her with her litter of two young male kittens (also available for adoption) and took her in to give her a warm place to stay while she was nursing and raising her babies. She is an explorer and loves to look out the window and find new corners of the home to check out. She is friendly and cuddly with all humans but she does not like dogs. She has had two vet check-ups since I took her in and is healthy but was determined to be FIV+ so she would do best in a single home or a home with other FIV+ cats. Please feel free to reach out and consider giving Jemma a forever home. She is ready to settle in and become your best friend!

Details

Good with kids, Good with dogs, Good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,

Story

She is a one year old girl, she is curious and shy at the same time. She will greet you and love people but is more reserved. She is soft and gets along with other cats. She came from a household of 5 cats and we feel she would do better when someone can give her more attention. She loves to play and eat wet food and treats. We feel she will do better in a house more quiet and slow.
